GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell.It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker.Its main feature is that it does a much better job of coming up withpossible suggestions than just about any other spell checker out therefor the English language, including Ispell and Microsoft Word. Italso has many other technical enhancements over Ispell such as usingshared memory for dictionaries and intelligently handling personaldictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once.
